Lived in New England and went to many Bruin games in the late 60's and 70's - that to me was the best hockey ever. the games today don't even compare, lets scrap the woke politically correct gentlemanly crap from the game and let the boys go at.

After talking to lots of old time fans they are seemed agree with you that games in that time period  were different and somewhat better.

Got to watch the original Whalers from '79 to the end in '97.  Super exciting, lots rougher than today's game, some old Whalers who liked to throw down - Torrie Robertson, Ulf Samuelson, and my favorite Pat Verbeek. Got to watch Gordie and his sons play together, today's game emphasizes skating and speed with the blue line and 2 line pass changes, back then if you wanted to watch good skating you watched the ice capades - lol

Yes, like everything else it certainly seems to have changed.

Word on the street is the we are trying to get a steal on EK65. If we can’t get a steal, we will be moving on shortly. I suspect this will iron itself out sometime this week.

I saw that on Reddit too. Question is if they can’t get him do that either resign Precse or use that extra money to go after Sanko?

Pesce is not up for a resign until next year. He’s either a trade or he stays. Same with Skjei.

When does TC start?

Honestly I’m very skeptical of EK after this. Why we are evening trying I dunno.
